TECNO Camon CM vs Pouvoir 2 battle of the bezel-less screen is here, grab a cup of coffee and join in. The Camon CM was introduced in January with the full-screen display which took TECNO’s fans by surprise. Although we have a few other bezel-less smartphones from the company since then.
But there’s something about the Pouvoir 2 which was released weeks ago that got us starstruck. It has the trending full view display as well and could easily compete with the Camon CM in this specs comparison. But which one has the best bezel-less screen? Which one has a powerful battery? We’ll be finding out soon enough.

Tecno puoviour 2 is better than Tecno Camon cm, in every angles. to me I choosed Tecno puoviour 2.
Am using the tecno pouviour 2 and this is my experience of the phone for the first week after purchase.the phone is okay.the phone is perfect when handling. the cameras both the front and back is clear and sharp but the picture gets blurry if the phone shakes during snapping.its does not get hot.the browsing is very fast.the battery is not worth what should be called 5000mah at all, its very poor.
This is my experience of the tecno pouviour 2.the phone is okay.the cameras both the front and back is clear and sharp but the picture gets blurry when your hand shakes during snaping.in terms of browsing its very fast but there is a huge disappointment in the battery it’s worth to be called 5000mah at all.
The Pouvoir 2 does not support fast charging, not the other way.
It’s the Camon CM that has fast charge but I guess it’s just a mistake.
